Feels like home .

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

I’ve really enjoyed living in this area , there’s a good mix of shops, cafés and restaurants close by, and everything you need day to day is within walking distance. The local parks and green spaces are lovely for a quick walk or some quiet time. Transport links are reliable, and it’s easy to get around. The neighborhood feels safe and welcoming, and the community has a really nice, friendly vibe.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Any issues I’ve reported have been handled quickly and efficiently. The management team usually responds within a day, and repairs or follow-ups are sorted without unnecessary delays. They also keep residents updated through the app, which makes it really easy to track and get quick responses. Overall, the service feels well organised and reliable.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I wish I’d known how easy everything is to manage through the resident app , it makes communication and maintenance requests so simple. Also, parking can get a bit tight at busy times, so it’s worth checking that before moving in. Overall, though, it’s a great place to live with a friendly community.

Manager response

Hi Elhadj, and thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re so pleased to hear that living at The Point has felt like home and that you’ve had such a positive experience with the building, community, and management team. It’s great to know the resident app has made communication easy and that any issues have been dealt with promptly, as that’s exactly what we aim for. Thanks again for your feedback and kind words.

A Manager Who Makes The Point Feel Like Home

Kuanyin Malang (Tenant)

Oct 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Living in the AB10 area has been a great experience. The city centre is within easy reach, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars offering a wide range of options. There are also green spaces nearby for walks and fresh air, which makes the area feel balanced between urban and relaxed. Transport links are convenient, with good bus routes across Aberdeen and the train station not far away. Parking is generally manageable, and bin collections are reliable. The street itself feels safe and welcoming, with little noise or anti‑social behaviour, which adds to the sense of community.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Any time I’ve raised a question or minor issue, Jamie and the management team have responded quickly and professionally. Communication is clear, solutions are provided without delay, and I’ve always felt supported as a resident. Their approach makes living here stress‑free and gives absolute confidence that the building is well looked after.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I didn’t realise how much of a community feel The Point has. I expected just another rental, but it’s genuinely a place where management and residents make it feel like home.

Manager response

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Kuanyin, it really means a lot. I'm so pleased to hear that your experience at The Point has been such a positive one, and I’m especially grateful for your lovely comments about the support and community feel we've built here. We’re delighted you’ve chosen to renew for another year, and I look forward to continuing to support you throughout your stay. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience -it really made our day!

I had a problem with my fridge and on the same day about 20mins later I had someone come and have a look at it.
